Dior flew the fashion crowd to Yves Saint Laurent's Majorelle Garden in Marrakech for its Cruise 2020 show. Rather than simply being inspired by Africa as a whole, the brand invited artists and artisans from different backgrounds and African cultures to work on the collection. Dior also teamed up with Sumano, an association that aims to revive the traditional women’s crafts of Moroccan tribes and designer Grade Wales Bonner to help reinterpret Dior's iconic bar jacket and skirt. 

Christian Siriano, who was the first to turn his atelier into a mask-making machine at the onset of the pandemic, took to his Connecticut backyard&nbsp;for a cosy fashion show complete with picnic baskets for his small in-person crowd.&nbsp;
For the rest of the industry, he live-streamed his show featuring a cheery parade of ball gowns, prints that included panels from comic books and looks emblazoned in black and white with a simple message: &ldquo;VOTE."
Siriano's spring-summer collection, not quite as expansive as usual, was inspired in part by some of the things he's been doing in quarantine, like shopping for groceries, cooking at home, watching old movies or just reading comic books.&nbsp;

There was a lot of bling&nbsp;in his show,&nbsp;a film titled 'Name is Love' that celebrated love as an emotion in every aspect. The structured detailing were on display in his collection that included&nbsp;saree gowns, pantsuits and more.&nbsp;

American designers James Mischka and Mark Badgley's spring collection was a riot of glamour and colour at the New York Fashion Week. In a new video, models were dressed in hues of bright greens and hot pinks.
The video presentation maintained the pomp and glamour of a usual runway show. As a part of the opulent collection, the duo also launched a &ldquo;luxe lounge&rdquo; category.
The thought behind the range was of places the designers' are looking forward to visiting. The line was not without their iconic statement gowns, while the short and long caftans were like the icing on the cake.

American fashion designer Anna Sui's Spring Summer 2021 collection as a part of New York Fashion Week&nbsp;sought inspiration from her time in quarantine.
While there was no runway show, she showcased her experience in her 2021 lookbook. The designer found time to watch documentaries, films like 'Daisies' and admire artwork such as that of French Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot.
The collection went big on a home DIY feel, with whimsy blooms on models' faces and outfits in washed out pastels.

Are you trying to lead a more sustainable life? Well, it seems like you don't need to look further than the good ol' Basmati&nbsp;rice sack. A photo shared on Twitter shows how someone has upcycled the Basmati&nbsp;rice sack into a literal tote bag.&nbsp;
The repurposed brown sack is apparently being retailed for $15, which is around Rs. 1,000 and guess what, its already sold out! The Tote Bag post has gone viral on Twitter with some even finding more variations of this recycling hack.
Turns out, its not just one&nbsp;Basmati&nbsp;sack being turned to a bag but there seems to be quite a market for this, might we say 'Basmati' trend.&nbsp;

For&nbsp;Balan, who loves her silk&nbsp;sarees, this round of promotions is no different. But there is one particular saree&nbsp;style catching the eye of many for its interesting pallu. Designed by Studio Medium, Balan&nbsp;wore a&nbsp;handwoven silk saree with a shibori sleeve designed to keep your hands free!

The global fashion industry is far from meeting its sustainability targets. In fact, it is set to emit double the emissions than its Paris Agreement limit by 2030, according to a new McKinsey&nbsp;report.&nbsp;
The 'Fashion on Climate' report reveals the industry&rsquo;s impact representing 2.1bn tonnes of CO2 emissions or about 4 per cent of the global total.&nbsp;That&rsquo;s the same as what France, Germany and the United Kingdom emit per year, combined.&nbsp;It is projected that without active efforts,&nbsp;emissions could rise by 2.7 per cent annually, reaching 2.7 billion tonnes a year by 2030.
The McKinsey&nbsp;report says that in order to break this trend, the industry needs to move away from discounting culture, noting that 40% of all products are marked down globally. The sector produces more than 100bn products annually. Actions like a shift to renewable energy, improving energy efficiency and minimising waste across the value chain are an urgent need for the industry.&nbsp;

If you don't love the idea of mind-reading, this outfit may not be for you! A Dutch techno-fashion designer has developed a dress that moves and changes colour in accordance to your brainwaves.&nbsp;
Called the Pangolin dress, this 3-D printed robotic creation by&nbsp;Anouk Wipprecht is connected to the wearer's&nbsp;electroencephalography sensors. The sensors resemble the scales of a pangolin, hence the name.&nbsp;
When the wearer is stressed, the dress flickers its lights, making the dress'&nbsp;animatronic wings flap faster. In contrast, when the wearer is calm, the dress glows with a soft purple light.&nbsp;
In a sense, the sci-fi-like dress takes on a different life with each wearer.&nbsp;Wipprecht&nbsp;is showcasing the Pangolin dress at&nbsp;the annual&nbsp;Ars Electronica&nbsp;festival for arts, technology and society in Austria.&nbsp;

French luxury conglomerate&nbsp;LVMH is pulling out of its planned takeover of luxury American jewellery&nbsp;retailer Tiffany &amp; Co, amid a dispute over proposed US tariffs on French goods.&nbsp;
Tiffancy&nbsp;&amp; Co has now sued the luxury giant over its 'breach of obligations'. LVMH&nbsp;cited the Covid-19 outbreak as well as intervention by the French government for dropping the&nbsp;$16.2 billion deal to buy Tiffany.
Tiffany is forcing&nbsp;LVMH&nbsp;to complete its deal as promised last year, but the luxury giant has not responded as of now.&nbsp;
